@MG- I'd bug you about tattoos again, but... well, nevermind.

I'm not doing anything at the moment, what sort are you after, or do you have some ready?

hey, if there was a dark-skinned Cousland family then i might finally play that HFN warrior that looks just like my mage but female-ized.... lol. i logged on her and thought, wow....awkward... never went back to play her.

Someone made a mod for that a while ago, as result of another thread

Awesome! Now I don't have to.

That completely needs to be made better known!   I'm glad it was done already.

I still want to know why the Warden STRANGLES THE DOG. Did they get abandoned on this island without a single nyerking knife?
Killing the dog is bad enough, but strangling him? ;_; Needless eww is needless, if you must do something that nasty to your loyal buddy, have Sten snap his neck ffs. It would be a hell of a lot more humane.

They said it was in reference to I Am Legend. Not cool, dude. Really not cool.

Like that scene was worth referencing, especially with so many better ways to do it on hand.

Bad "edgy" writing makes me rage a little. I used to give people nightmares with my sh*t.

Also, WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE DOG IN THESE THINGS. Babies always survive but the dog always dies! Dogs and old people, no one knows how to get shock value any other way. Nerd-raaaaage.

*pats*

If it helps, know that I would save puppies from a pet shelter before pulling babies out of the fire anytime soon?

I have no great love for babies. Contrary to the rest of my sex, or so I'm told. My baby might be different if I ever get around to making one, but that would be because it's mine, not because it's a baby. I am politically incorrect in this, I realize.

Well, the thing about dogs and old people dying and babies living is all movies and books and such. I guess it's okay to kill grandma and fluffy in gruesome and creative ways, but no one wants to risk really horrifying/offending the audience, so they make the baby miraculously get rescued just in time. Whenever my roommates or I spot a cute animal or an elderly person in something involving natural disasters or the like (which I won't usually watch anyway, for various reasons) we know they're dead.

Part of why Scott Sigler is a favorite of mine is the dog was one of the few survivors of his trapped-on-an-island-with-a-bunch-of-monsters book.

I'm with you on being an exception, except I've always said I'm not having kids. XD I don't wish harm on kids, but I don't particularly like being around 'em and I've yet to find anyone's random baby pictures cute. This puzzles and offends people a lot. And now it really wouldn't happen, of course. XD

I have absolutely no desire to have kids, raise kids, or actually go out and actively find a partner. This makes me strange and even offensive to some people. XD If it happens, it happens. If said possible-but-unlikely partner wants kids, I'll listen to his negotiations. It just won't be from my end, and it won't be an easy persuade check (hah! Geek joke!).  I'm very good at sitting/playing/teaching kids, however. They love me. This does give people the wrong ideas.

Re movies : Which is why I prefer cheap horror movies to cheap disaster movies. If a stupid college kid appears with a dog, we can be sure it's the dog who lives and the kid who dies! <---er, misanthrope, yes.

I can't watch horror at all, though I can read and write it and listen to it in audiobook form. And I haaaate survival-horror, since I've lived it. But that is indeed a redeeming quality of cheap horror movies! I can probably do the cheap ones.

And kids love me too, they used to toddle right past their parents, my kid-loving best friend at the time, her parents, and ten strangers just to babble up at me while I looked on in confusion and possibly horror. I had to tell a mother to please get her kid off of me one time when I was working, and it pissed her right off. As I knew it would, it always does.

If your kid is harassing someone who's standing very still looking like <_<, that would not be the time to stand back and chuckle about how cute it is. That would be the time to stop inflicting stress on the poor bastard who came to buy soup, plzkthx. I can't understand their gibberish (I can barely understand adults half the time, with the way so many people slur their words lazily), and I have no idea what to do and I'm pretty sure if I move wrong, the kid's going to have moved at the same time, get knocked down, and start bawling.

So please, random parent people I encountered in the wilds of retail, have pity on the non-maternal.

[/mini-rant] Most of my angst is toddler and below, after they start forming coherent-ish sentences I don't mind them as much. I've been babbled at by perfectly coherent kids and have had some entertaining converations. I may have taught one some bad words though. (I'm not a good aunt.)

ALSO, SPARKLES.

@ Ej -- your lack of photo squee at total strangers in real life is appreciated. Co-workers used to do that to me all the time. My best response was usually to laugh nervously and change the subject, and even that pissed people off sometimes. Babies look like nothing to me but squishy, often slightly damp things.

*waves a flag* I grew up in solitary! lol

Kids always seem to be the most interested in those that don't shower them with attention (in the case of them getting it on a regular basis), guess why?

I usually get kids at me on family gatherings when I sit and half-sleep.

It came in handy when I briefly worked for Disney retail in Seattle, and people dropped their kids off in the store and left. I'd end up keeping track of the kid while we called security over to collect them. Between my apparent shiny-factor and the shiny-factor of all the stuff around us, I practically had a leash on them.

Disney store =/= daycare. <_<

People did THAT?  That's horrible!  I can't even begin to imagine what kind of idiot would just leave their kid like that.  Strict instructions, ok, we're at Disney World.  Don't leave!  Be good!  I'll be back in... awhile!

Hmmmm, ok, I won't rant about this. Much.

Ah yes, I remember, unfortunely I can't draw using a mouse and I can't seem to find any of my fine line pens. The tattoo itself should be easy enough to draw.

As I'm bored I will try to do it in MS Paint, but I promise nothing. <_<

I think she meant the Disney Store in the mall, but yeah, that's still ridiculous. I'm not great with kids, but some people are on a whole other level of dumb. <_<

Not even Disney World, just the Disney Store in the Northgate mall in Seattle.

But yes. So often, in fact, that we had a code for how to handle it. I worked there as a temp over the holiday season in three hour shifts and personally saw it happen half a dozen times. They'd walk their kid back to the back of the room with the big-ass TV, and then leave.

They were always pissed that we called security to come get the kid, too.

It is disturbing to have a five year old girl dragging you around and showing you pink things with sparkles. And pretty much hanging on your arm for 2 hours.

about the kids thing. so my mom lives near an IKEA superstore and apparently people go there, drop off the kids and just walk out for a few hours. so whenever she drags me there to help carry stuff, there are always tiny children running around screaming... but that's how kids are... hell if they'd let me, i'd run around IKEA screaming too

/shakes head.  I may win no mom-of-the-year awards, but bleh, I can't even imagine doing this.  The kids must be terrified.  Either that, or completely used to it.  Heh, they're lucky you didn't call CPS to get their kids instead.

I've never been to an IKEA, but I did do this one halloween in a mall. Dressed as female Two-Face to my friend's female Joker.

It was theraputic.

Also, parents don't like it when female Two-Face and female Joker try to give their kids candy randomly. It was halloween! XD

Edit for incoherency, I'm playing in paint.

yeah but aren't the kids supposed to stay in the corral?
you're Swedish aren't you, Herr? 
so i have you to blame for this IKEA madness.... 

[webbedfeet]

This does make me wonder....well, it's sort of OT, but I must start to get used to our tendency to go OT sooner or later. Still, I apologize if this breaks the flow of conversation.



Since we're talking about kids...who in Warden Team do you think would be awesome with kids, and who wouldn't be? I think it's been established waaaay earlier in the thread that post-Crow!Zevran would be magnificent with kids, but what about the others? Leliana would be good, I think. (It's kind of ironic that both the resident professional assassins would be best with them.) Wynne would think she's good, but all the kids would hate her. Alistair would WANT to be...but as they say, one who is himself a child cannot take care of children. Sten, then? Morrigan's lol upbringing of OGB?



Discuss?



*runs away*

[Charsen]

actually, i'm going to go with Sten on this one

[ejoslin]

Hmmm, parenting. Yeh, I think both Zev and Lel would be good parents, probably Zev moreso since at least with a femwarden he seems to like the idea. Sten, no. Morrigan... Maybe. I think if she and the warden become friends or fall in love, she learns how to care for others. Alistair? I actually think he'd be a decent dad, but more of a play-type dad. Agree about Wynne completely.

[Aroihkin]

Sten's people raise them communally, don't they? He's too busy being "the Lieutenant" or whatever Sten means, I'm sure there's someone whose name means "the Nanny".

[Sarah1281]

Oghren would be horrible. No responsible adult would leave someone as chronically drunk as him alone with children. Shale would be perplexed and probably want to squish them. Sten would hand them off to the local priestess (or Leliana if none is available as she's close enough). The kids would love Alistair but I doubt he could control them. The kids would all listen to Wynne (like Bevin did) but all hate her. Morrigan would also not really know what to do and if she couldn't get out of watching them would probably try to make them stronger and traumatize them.



Leliana and Zevran...yeah, oddly enough they'd probably be good. Leliana could tell them stories and Zevran could, well, be Zevran. As long as he knew to keep it age-appropriate which, given his own childhood, the Warden might need to make sure he understood what qualified as 'age-appropriate.'

[Nonvita]

Alistair would be good so long as the fem!Warden can handle being the strict parent. =P Agreed about everyone else.

The priesthood takes care of the children. Qunari have no families.

Edit: Qunari aren't born, they are bred.
